Contents: Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, Bruyères, The Little Shepherd, The Snow Is Dancing and La fille aux cheveux de lin.

Dedicated to Pierre Jamet, whom Loro names as the source of her inspiration, the edition includes an introductory tribute by Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli in Italian and English. The harp writing includes fingering and pedal indications.

Composer(s)

Claude Debussy: (b St Germain-en-Laye, 22 Aug 1862; d Paris, 25 March 1918). French composer. One of the most important musicians of his time, his harmonic innovations had a profound influence on generations of composers. He made a decisive move away from Wagnerism in his only complete opera Pelléas et Mélisande, and in his works for piano and for orchestra he created new genres and revealed a range of timbre and colour which indicated a highly original musical aesthetic.
